Hi all,

Following is a message from Tucker.

---------------

Reminder: the 11th of February is the last day for submitting an 
abstract to the RoboCup 2007 Symposium. The paper deadline is February 
18th. If you are planning to submit a paper, please submit your abstract 
as soon as possible.

For more information please find the call for papers repeated below.

Best Regards,
Ubbo Visser, Fernando Ribeiro, Takeshi Ohashi, and Frank Dellaert

Call for papers

The 11th annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in 
conjunction with RoboCup 2007, immediately after the Competitions and 
Demonstrations. The Symposium represents the core meeting for the 
presentation and discussion of scientific contributions in diverse areas 
related to the three main threads within RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue 
and RoboCupJunior. Its scope encompasses, but is not restricted to, 
research and education activities within the fields of Artificial 
Intelligence and Robotics.

Due to its interdisciplinary nature and the exploration of various and 
intimate connections of theory and practice across a wide spectrum of 
different fields, the symposium offers an excellent opportunity to 
introduce new techniques to various scientific disciplines. The 
experimental, interactive and benchmark character of the RoboCup 
initiative creates the opportunity to present, learn and evaluate novel 
ideas and approaches with significant potential. If promising, they are 
then rapidly adopted and field-tested by a large (and still strongly 
growing) community. In particular, we would like to urge also people not 
actively participating in a RoboCup team to submit their work. The 
introduction of RoboCup at Home in 2006 provides additional opportunity to 
expand the areas of discussion at the Symposium. Following is a list of 
the major topics of interest.

Following is a list of the major topics of interest.
• multi-agent systems and multi-robot systems:
• learning and adaptive systems
• cooperation and collaboration
• teamwork and heterogeneous agents
• dynamic resource allocation
• adjustable autonomy
• planning, reasoning and modeling
• simulation
• sensory processing and control:
• robot vision (including omnidirectional)
• image processing
• self-localization and navigation
• world modeling
• sensor-motor control
• distributed sensor networks
• robot hardware and software:
• system integration and software engineering
• real-time and concurrent programming
• robot programming environments and languages
• embedded and mobile hardware
• mobile robots and humanoids
• new devices and materials for robots
• human-robot interaction:
• visualization
• speech synthesis and natural language generation
• human-robot interfaces
• applications:
• disaster rescue information systems
• search and rescue robots
• service robots
• robots at home
• education and edutainment:
• AI, robotics and science education
• educational robotics
• computer and robotic entertainment

Submission
Both papers describing real-world research and papers dealing with 
strong theoretical results are welcome, as well as combinations thereof. 
We also encourage the submission of high-quality overview articles for 
any field related to the general scope of RoboCup, especially the ones 
listed above. The proceedings of the RoboCup Symposium are published 
within the Springer LNAI series.

All submissions to the International Symposium are automatically entered 
in the selection process for the RoboCup "Best Paper Award", which 
recognizes outstanding research within a field related to the scope of 
the Symposium.

If the primary author of a paper is a student, then the paper will 
automatically be entered into the selection process for the "Best 
Student Paper Award".

By submitting to the RoboCup Symposium, authors are declaring that their 
work has not already been submitted for publication elsewhere (in any 
form: conference, workshop, journal, etc.) and that it will not be 
submitted until they are notified about the results of the RoboCup 
reviewing process.

Submitted papers should follow the Springer LNAI format and are limited 
to 12 pages. Instructions for formatting can be found at: 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

Papers will be submitted electronically via ConfMaster and will be 
blind-reviewed. Instructions about the electronics submission process 
can be found on the submission page of the symposium website. The 
electronic submission process requires a PDF file of the full paper, and 
the separate submission of an abstract.
